57. Pointing out their buzzwords and dogwhistles does not make us like them.
Sat May 29, 2021, 09:56 PM
May 2021

The truth is that we all know what they are driving at. I'm not sure how much more of a precedent they need to show to arrive at this conclusion. They have also proven that they will lie, cheat and steal to obscure and the shift blame on almost anything. Yes, we do have the truth on our side but we are constantly waving the Marquis of Queensbury rules while they are slashing our car tires and kicking us in the groin. We watch what we say like we are under oath in their personal courtrooms while they do and say whatever the hell they want without any consequence.

We are telling the truth when we point out their obvious buzzwords and dogwhistles, but we are so concerned about soiling ourselves by going into the gutter to fight them we are ignoring the fact that these people and their ideals have been basically coming out of the sewers.
